PLANNER DIVIDERS | FILOFAX | COLORISTA | SPECTRUM NOIR

I am an avid planner and rely particularly on my main filofax to keep me organised!

Here are my new dividers for my A5 "The Original" Filofax, labelled  to suit how I use my planner in daily life!
                            

 

               

I coloured these over many evenings, taking my time and enjoying the process. Each coloured page is A4 so I chopped them all in half leaving me with 7 gorgeous cards to make at a later date!

Journaling Dark Moments

Today I would like to share with you a moment of honesty. 
            
I suffer from mental health issues in the shape of depression, anxiety and, at times, suicidal thoughts.
                            

Expressing feelings in a creative way can help make order of the jumbled and distressing thoughts swirling around in your mind in moments of crisis.

               

For the most part I have at least part of my issues under control, with the help of my GP and the charity MIND.

How to be The Artist you want to be

One day when I'm old and grey (or greyER!), I'll look back and appreciate the fact that I was able to dedicate such a large part of my life to my art.

I think a lot of people out there wish they could find something they are so passionate about.  As committed artists and crafters we are lucky because we've found it.

That said, we're all guilty of self-doubt and here's my thoughts.

Do you have periods of insecurity when it comes to creating?
     
I know I certainly do.
       

These essential 10 Commandments can be hard to follow, I know that I am particularly guilty of #1!

Try not to worry, your creations are unique and wonderful, and so are you!

       

Feel free to share this blog post and infographic (please credit this blog when sharing) and spread these words of encouragement with your creative friends!
